GO BLUE!

Since last time I updated, I have been to two football games in the Big House and let me tell you, it is BIG. It is so big that the field looks small, and well unless you follow the ball from the very beginning of the play (and even then it's hard) good luck trying to find it. The Friday before last weekend, aka the Friday before my first game, Kate and I drove by the local high school while out and about and there were campers and RV's camped out and ready to tailgate and cheer on Michigan. It felt like it was out of the movies. These people travel from all over the state, park their RV's at the local high school (only a few blocks from the stadium) or wherever for that matter, families in tow to participate in the legacy of Michigan football. Walking to the game there are hundreds of people and people of all ages, the young the old alike wearing their maize and blue and more than likely drinking beer and screaming "GO BLUE." Once you actually make it into the stadium it is like you are in a whole other world. At my first game there were 110,187 people in attendance. That is nearly the size of Ventura. Wow. The student section stands the whole game throwing people in the air periodically and cheering at the top of their lungs. To experience it has been a pleasure.

An another note, fall is coming! The leaves are starting to change colors and I am loving it. It is seriously so pretty and other than the mess the leaves falling everywhere leave it is beautiful.

Kate took this picture while we were driving and from my phone so it isn't the best but it is what a lot of the trees look like right now. Every once in a while I will pass a tree that is completely red or orange and it is kind of breath taking. I think I am going to like this season!
